Replace "Cheeses gathered first" by "Victory points". First to enter in the hole gets 3 points, second gets 2 points and third gets 1 point.

Having only 1 in 11-25 to get first is a really low rating chance, and sometimes it's better to kill yourself instead of getting the cheese out of 1st :/

The 2nd and 3rd places seems worthless and sometimes I think this is just sad in a racing. Just my thoughts to be honest.

I don't expect the admins to change this system after having people gather firsts for over 4 years. Having said that, maybe for racing as an official minigame this might stand a chance. Call them racing points and award them to the top 3 in racing (and racing only).

Official minigames should get official statistics!
